Can you listen to books on the kindle 2?

I have the kindle 2 and I was wondering why it has a speaker on the back, but no sound comes out? and I was going to buy some earphones, but I don’t know if it will work. do I have to buy special books like audio books? or can I buy the headphones and listen to regular books? And if I’m buying headphones for it which ones would be best?

Kindles can read Audible audio books (which you must pay for).

Additionally, Kindle has a feature called text to speech, where it will read your books for free to you in a choppy electronic voice (you can enable this by pressing the Aa button on your kindle and moving down to text to speech). However, some publishers have disabled text to speech on their books as it prevents people from paying more money for the audio books.

Headphones are not necessary. As you’ve noticed, there is a speaker on the back of the Kindle that will project the sound. However, if headphones are more convenient, any headphones will do. I normally use the headphones that came with my IPod and they work just fine.
